GuitarPunk94 Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 the harder times are just about to come..it will be hard to avoid all the temptations i hope he is strong enough
Jacob_XX Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Funny story, my girlfriend loves David Bowie-he is her favorite singer. I love Green Day and Billie Joe is my favorite singer. She hates Billie Joe and is always saying how she thinks David Bowie is the shit and Green Day sucks and blah blah. Well we always go back and forth like two little kids saying that our favorite is better lol. Then I saw this cover and just started laughing bc of the coincidence that Billie Joe just happens to be overshadowing the hell out of the little red box on the side that says David Bowie's Return lol . Nothing against Bowie i just thought that was a funny coincidence lol .
deletethisaccount Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 What happened after that dreaded festival and reading this interview really makes you look at his lyrics from a new perspective. "I never want to be the guy who talks about addiction. The last thing I want is sympathy from anybody. The last thing I want is a pity party." "I don't want your sympathy / I don't want your honesty / I just wanna get some piece of mind"
EastCaitNowhere Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Well, I've heard from people that the UK don't get Rolling Stone for about two weeks after it's release, I'm not waiting that long... To eBay.
Guest Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Well, I've heard from people that the UK don't get Rolling Stone for about two weeks after it's release, I'm not waiting that long... To eBay. This is totally of topic but are you from Wales because I see Clwb Ifor Bach & lots of Cardiff in your signature and had a mini freak out okay. Also, two weeks is okay for me to wait. I have no money to buy it at the minute so the later they release it here, the better for me.

iltrenta Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Fucking A, thank you! ♥ haha, you're welcome! I just noticed that the pics posted on Instagram didn't include the best part of this interview, the beginning when he says "This is definitely the only interview I'm gonna do about it".
OhTheGuilt. Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I'm so glad for this interview, Thank you Billie.
Slave To The Network Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 My Rolling Stone copy better be on that damn shelf when I go look for it today! :angry I still haven't read the article because I'm too stubborn to do it before I get an actual copy, so I guess the misery is all my fault. But I just want to save that pleasure for the perfect time. Probably as a reward once I finish my research paper.

Rianne Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 i bought it today. I got it, I got some candy, and read it in the car. It made me emotional, but then again everything makes me emotional these days.
Slave To The Network Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Wow, you´re a real maso... Or a super-hero! You were going to say masochist, weren't you?
Mykee Mexx Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 You were going to say masochist, weren't you? Yes, just didn´t want to say it that clear...

Heather. Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Finally picked up a copy today. There's actually a certain ambiguity when Billie says "That's my last drink." when asked about not wanting to watch the iHeart footage. When Andres first gave us the answer to "So is he going to drink in moderation, or stay clean?" and he said Billie said iHeart was the last drink he was going to have, I don't think that was made certain by that statement. While I do think Billie is committed to sobriety and won't think it's a good idea to try to drink in moderation, him saying "That's my last drink" was more of a "That was the last time I had a drink" than it was "That was the last time I will ever drink." He did not say the latter in uncertain terms, because he is, obviously, not totally confident that he will never drink again (because he can't be, and I'm sure he's scared.) While I feel good about Billie's future, I'm somewhat surprised that the tour is happening so soon. We all thought 6 months meant he was taking a good, long break to make sure that without a doubt he was ready and safe to tour, but it really doesn't sound like he's completely ready yet, he's still so unsure and in a lot of ways there are things he hasn't worked out, with himself AND with the band. Obviously he'll never be completely ready and no matter how long he waits, the start of his first post-rehab tour is bound to be frightening, but I was surprised he and the band STILL haven't sat down and made a game plan to keep things safe. It's obviously uncomfortable to talk about and it sounds like they're avoiding it, but that should be something high on the priority list of things to discuss with the tour so close. Honestly, his rehab doctors/advisers should be fronting that discussion with Mike, Tre, crew, etc, and Billie really does need to champion his own health above the backstage fun of the band. It sounds like Mike is all game for doing whatever needs to be done, and I'm sure Tre will be as well, but it's just surprising that they would reschedule a tour that, while not extensive by Green Day standards, is still going to be pretty huge. That part where Billie described getting overwhelmed and freaked out about how they were planning a tour, then another tour, then ANOTHER tour, and how that drove him to further substance abuse from stress, is not that dissimilar to what is probably going on with Green Day right now... they'll do the North American tour, then the summer European tour, and they're probably planning to schedule another U.S. leg, not to mention an Asian and Australian tour. That's insanity, and maybe they're waiting to see how the first two tours go, but you can bet your ass they are being tentatively "planned," and Billie is aware of that, and that will create a certain amount of pressure in his head. I'm just overthinking and worrying. I'm not saying he won't be able to handle it or that it's "too soon," it likely IS time for them to get back out there, but I'm not convinced they went about it in the *most* cautious way possible. Smarter would have been to maybe schedule ten California dates, take a two week break, do a little Northeast tour. I know they're getting their feet wet a little bit with the CA/TX/SXSW gigs, but it's all leading into a LOT of cities in a short amount of time. I guess Green Day is so used to it that they don't realize that even a tour this small is still actually a pretty big trip.
HolyHandGrenade Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 While I feel good about Billie's future, I'm somewhat surprised that the tour is happening so soon.

Honestly, his rehab doctors/advisers should be fronting that discussion with Mike, Tre, crew, etc, and Billie really does need to champion his own health above the backstage fun of the band. Although I'm sure the band deserves and could really use a bit more of a break, but this is Billie Joe we're talking about. I think Mike said it best in his recent RS interview: "Billie is very driven. Billie is music - period. I love him for it." Getting him back into rhythm as soon as possible with touring, press, and writing more songs might be, ironically, the most therapeutic solution possible. Of course he'll be scared at the start, but that's the case with any new experience.
Slave To The Network Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Yes, just didn´t want to say it that clear... I think I'm going to break down and just read the article tonight. Every fucking place I go still has the goddamn February issue and I'm getting to pissed! I can't wait forever!
spark in the night Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Billie loves the Doors That makes me so happy. Jim Mo was fucked up, but a poet nonetheless I was conflicted with the whole "Adrienne doesn't drink" I could have sworn there was an old interview where Billie said he and Adrienne "pounded beers" because they were nervous/excited about something? I really can't remember the context of it, but I specifically remember that line. Maybe it was Behind the Music? Not calling Billie a liar, I just vividly remember that line and then reading the opposite in this article confused me. Eh. Whatever.

I think he mentioned that they did that before their wedding because they were both so nervous.
